Shoppers At A Mall Grand Opening For Consumer Confidence Index

Shoppers exit a Michael Kors USA Inc. outlet store during a charity preview event on the eve of the grand opening of the Outlet Shoppes of The Bluegrass in Simpsonville, Kentucky, U.S., on Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Confidence among U.S. consumers retreated last week to an almost two-month low as limited wage growth chipped away at perceptions about personal finances, according to the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index. Even with the setback in sentiment, the weekly measure is holding close to its high of the year as a pickup in employment opportunities persists and stocks trade near a record.
